Meanwhile, the Aboriginal family involved in the dispute has told The Courier-Mail they will move out of Douglas St.

Tim Briggs said he'd lived in the Douglas St home with his wife and four children for six years, but now he wanted out.

"It's for the safety of my family, my children. We just want people to calm down now, to stop," he said.

Mr Briggs said he spoke by phone on Tuesday with the other family involved in the tensions, the Palau family, who live a few hundred metres down the street.

A group of Aboriginal women were also welcomed into the Palau home for peace talks, the newspaper reported.

The paper said members of the two families had detailed the event that had sparked days of unrest - an argument at a set of traffic lights between separate cars of Aboriginal and Pacific Island men on Saturday night.

A confrontation followed at a local supermarket and then at Douglas St, where a car owned by a member of the Palau family was damaged.

A group of Islander men retaliated by smashing in the windows of three cars at the home of the Aboriginal family.

Rocks were also hurled through the windows and walls of the house as its residents hid in a barricaded back room.
